Fango and the others protected nearly two diplomats and scholars, rode in a horse-drawn carriage and an ox-drawn cart, and retreated to Le Havre in a hurried and chaotic manner. They destroyed many French towns along the way and even captured the city of Louviers. .
Although it was going well, they ran away in a hurry, not even bothering to wash their faces, and everyone looked miserable.
Although the Type 69 flintlock rifle and rocket launcher are powerful, don't forget that the bullets will be used up and the artillery shells will be blasted. Fang Ge has less than two hundred marines, and he has to protect nearly two hundred diplomats and scholars who are helpless. He lacks mobility. Once he is trapped by the French army, it will be a dead end. Can you not be anxious?
After Nong Xiaowu and the others left, no news came back, and they didn't know what the situation was like in Le Havre. If Pang Ning and the others couldn't take the preemptive strike and capture Le Havre, and they had fled to the seaside, they would still be there. Dead end, unless you can swim across the English Channel.
Fang Ge, who hadn't slept a wink all day and night, had bloodshot eyes. As soon as he captured Louviers, he hurriedly asked everyone to check the ammunition. When the news came up, he couldn't help but feel cold. Everyone still had thirty or fifty rounds of rifle bullets. etc., but the total number is not six to seven thousand rounds.
There are still 234 throwing thunderbolts left in total, with an average of just over one left per person. There are even fewer rockets, only 23 left. If they attack the city again, they will probably be gone.
This is France, which is thousands of miles away from the mainland of Qin. Once the weapons are used up, it will really make the world ineffective and the earth unable to respond.
"Quick. Collect the weapons in the city. Don't worry about what they are. Bring as many as you can. Damn it, don't be picky. Bring bows and arrows as well. Hurry up!"
Under his order, the soldiers hurriedly collected the weapons in the city, including bows, arrows, swords, guns, etc., and loaded them onto the carriage. There were shouts and shouts everywhere. The French people in the city had long been hiding and did not dare to show their heads. Apart from the busy Qin army, almost no one else could be seen on the street.
Trapped in this distant France, isolated and helpless, the diplomats and scholars were inevitably a little uneasy. They even had less communication with each other. Only the French Foreign Minister Gore, who was being held in custody, was still wasting words: "Respect Your Excellency, Ambassador, please listen to me. I know the whole story best. Please give me a chance, Ambassador, to return to Paris. I will definitely be able to convince the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister of our country to resolve their differences...
Zhang Haoran was jolted so hard that his bones almost fell apart. He was so tired that he didn't even want to move his fingers. He had no intention of listening to what he had to say.
not to mention. Is it stupid to let Gore go back at this time
At this time, a scout cavalry galloped into the city, the sound of hooves thundering. He shouted at Fang Ge from a distance: "Commander Fang... the enemy is chasing us. There are four thousand cavalry, less than thirty miles away..."
The exhausted Zhang Haoran and others sat up in shock. Anyone with a little bit of military knowledge would know that if the enemy comes with 4,000 cavalry, as long as they do not attack directly, the Qin army's weapon advantage will not be able to be used. Just harassing them with a small force can You will be trapped to death, and for the Qin army, time is life. Once you are delayed, there is almost no chance to escape.
Zhang Haoran dragged his heavy legs, walked to Fang Ge and asked: "Commander Fang, what should we do now?"
Fang Ge's blood-red eyes stared, and he was scratching his head in anxiety. He had just counted the amount of ammunition, and there was not much left. The enemies were all cavalry, and after Golin's lesson, if he thought about it again, It is absolutely impossible for the enemy to rush straight up and slaughter you.
Fang Ge looked anxiously at the nearly two hundred diplomats and scholars. Without the burden of these people, the capable Marines could still fight flexibly. With these people in need of protection, the Marines were helpless and could use any flexible tactics. Not coming out.
He secretly gritted his teeth and said: "Master Zhang, how about this? I will lead most of the troops to stay to stop the enemy, and let Lin Daoming lead fifty soldiers to protect you and retreat to Le Havre to join General Pang and the others."
Zhang Haoran asked uncertainly: "Commander Fang, is this okay?"
"Master Zhang, this is the only way. Otherwise, once we are trapped by the enemy, none of us will be able to leave. I will defend the city here and the enemy's cavalry will not be able to take advantage of it. It should be no problem to hold on for a day or two. Yes, I will find a way to break out after you are far away."
Fang Ge's arrangement cannot be said to be unreasonable, but in fact, he is somewhat selfish. He continues to protect Zhang Hao and others. The speed is very slow and he cannot maneuver. In fact, it is more dangerous. Once separated, although he only has There are 150 people, but they can let go of their hands and feet and be flexible, making it much easier to break out and survive.
Zhang Haoran agreed without thinking too much.
At this time, a soldier named Liu Baier said from the side: "Commander Fang, I remember that there are two boats at the dock in the north of the city. Why don't you let Mr. Zhang and the others take the boat down the river and capture some boatmen in the city to cover it up? Mr. Zhang and the others are hiding in the cabin, so that the enemy may not be able to find them for a while, and they may be able to reach the seaside smoothly. "
When Fang Ge heard this, he thought it was feasible. It turned out that there were one or two hundred people like Zhang Haoran. The target was too obvious when walking on land, and it was impossible to hide their whereabouts. If he hid in the cabin, he could take some Frenchmen as boatmen, and he would be here. You may be able to dodge the enemy by luring him in.
"Master Zhang, let's do this. You take a boat down the Seine. I'll ask Lin Daoming to go to the city to find some French people to punt the boat for you, and try to cover up your whereabouts..."
Zhang Haoran nodded repeatedly and said: "Well, that's good. Everyone is overturned in the car, and the bones are almost falling apart. If we take a boat, we can still cover our whereabouts, so let's do it. Commander Zhang, take care."
"Master Zhang, take care."
Before he had time to say anything more, Fang Ge asked General Lin Daoming to go to the city to arrest people. The city of Louviers is located on the Seine River. Many people in the city rely on boat transportation for their livelihood. It is not difficult to find some boatmen. Lin Daoming even has the skills of these boatmen. The family members were also put on the boat and guarded by 50 marines to prevent the boatman from causing trouble.
Zhang Haoran and other nearly two hundred civil servants hurriedly boarded the two boats, hid in the cabins, and the two boats just sailed down the Seine.
Fortunately, Fang Ge and the others moved quickly. Within less than a stick of incense, the two boats left, when the dull and thunderous sound of horse hooves came from the east. Looking from the top of the city, they saw yellow dust billowing from the east, rising into the sky. The walls of Louviers were shaken to the point of trembling.
Soon, surging cavalry could be seen galloping towards the city, and the shaking at the top of the city became more and more intense. This is when Fang Ge ordered his subordinates: "Li Pan, you guys go and put on Ambassador Zhang and his official uniforms." , come and stroll around the city."
"Boss, I like this, hehe, come here, come here..."
Chief Li Pan smiled happily. Da Qin's fifth-grade official robe was so majestic. If it weren't for the purpose of confusing the enemy, he would never have the chance to wear it in this life.
Everyone was happy to see Li Pan leading a few of his men to change into official uniforms. Without Zhang Haoran and the others to drag them down, the remaining 150 marines felt much more relaxed. The enemy can now laugh and curse.
It was the 4,000 French cavalry led by Van Rite who came to the gates of Louviers this time. In the past few decades, France has been experiencing constant wars. Most of the soldiers have experienced the baptism of blood and fire, and their combat effectiveness is still very strong.
The city of Louviers is only one mile long and wide. It is now obscured by the billowing yellow dust brought by four thousand cavalry, and it is almost impossible to see the situation at the top of the city clearly.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Fan Lite stationed his horse two miles away and looked at the top of the city with a telescope. He could clearly see the Qin army's black flag with the word "Qin" in it. Under the flag, there were several people wearing black The person wearing the official uniform of Xiangyun embroidered on the bottom is completely different from the military uniform worn by the soldiers of the Qin army. He is obviously a diplomat of the Qin State.
There were only two hundred Qin soldiers escorting the mission, and it seemed that the number of people at the top of the city was about the same. Fan Lite was convinced that the wall of Louviers was only four meters high, and he could climb it with a short ladder.
After all, the Qin army only has less than 200 men. If they are scattered on the four walls, there will only be dozens of people on each side. Even if they have three heads and six arms, how long can they last
"Everyone dismount, take a rest first, and then attack the city with all our strength!"
Four thousand French soldiers obeyed the order and dismounted. Van Rite also ordered the soldiers to build ladders.
After the ladder was built, Fanlett did not wait any longer and immediately ordered an attack on the city. Four thousand French troops attacked from the east, south and west. First, groups of cavalry roared to the bottom of the city and fired at the top of the city. Then the dismounted infantrymen carried ladders and rushed towards the city wall like a wave, and a bloody battle began...
